“Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” - C.G. Jung

ABOUT US

INSPIRED BY DREAMS (foundation) is a DELHI based, youth-run and youth-focused NGO, engaged in environmental and social development issues. We strive to inspire action, using awareness, communication, training and advocacy as primary tools. We have three cross-cutting focus areas which run throughout our varied programmes: environment and education, youth and civil society, and active citizenship.

ABOUT THE AWARENESS PROGRAMMEThe Awareness Programme encourages and enables exploring the ‘inner self’ so that each of us becomes the change we want to see on issues close to our hearts. Children, environment, women, disability or be it any other critical social concern... the programme is rooted in the belief that as human beings we have a corner within which is compassionate and passionate about that one cause which moves us to action. Sometimes it has taken just a nudge to arouse that spirit. At other times, we have taken recourse to multiple activities to awaken it. Most importantly, the programme seeks to create change-makers who can contribute time, intellect, money, or, simply, a gesture of compassion. It has aspired to build understanding through observation and reflection. Over the years, this process has given us a vibrant volunteer base. This would have been impossible without our programmes that disseminate and, we believe, motivate people.The focus of the programme, through which we reach out to thousands of people, is awareness-generation activities that cover a range of issues. The Awareness Programme envisions leading social change through:

• Sensitising civil society • Building insight• Raising awareness on development issues• Breaking stereotypes and questioning perceptions• Providing information • Raising volunteers• Advocating change• Communicating the importance of civil participation; and • Providing a platform for partner organisations to talk about their work
